ALVIN, Texas, April 23 (UPI) -- Chelsi Camp, a woman from Alvin Texas, was dog-sitting a friend’s pitbull when the animal sniffed her small daughter then suddenly attacked, biting the child’s face, latching its jaws onto her small head.

“The dog came up and he was just curious and when he smelled her that’s when you saw it flip because I think he smelled my dog on her,” said Camp.

Camp shoved her fist into the dog’s mouth to stop it mauling Mackenzi, yelling at her daughter to turn over so she wouldn’t choke on her own blood.

Camp kept fighting, biting off the dog’s ear before the tussle ended, saying she didn’t know what else to do.
